Yuck.. I bet one would think twice before eating his steak,after reading this story.. Horrid,yet true. It seems the author portrayed history as a sci-fi.

[Susan Molloy · Rating 3 out of 5]

🖍️ Disqualified was a strange short story, with an ending that is a weird shock. I plan to re-read it another time to see if it makes more sense to me.

If Saranta wished to qualify as one who loved his fellow man, he should have known that often the most secretive things are the most obvious. ,/i>

📙Published in If Worlds of Science Fiction, September 1954.

Very short science fiction story with a nice twist. The beginning setup is the same as in Frank Herbert's Godmakers: the highly advanced human civilization is encountering new (less-advanced) civilizations and trying to figure out to what extent they should share their technology.

Available from Audible. Sci-Fi Shorts, V.1 narrated by Felbrigg Napoleon Herriot.
A very short story with a twist at the end that was easy to figure out. A colony on a planet lacking resources requests help from visitors from another planet who are there to assess their worthiness for aid.

Reminiscent of a 'Encyclopedia Brown' story
